Our muse turns common prose to rhyme
A sort o’homely Christmas chime,

But, maybe, somewhat clearer.

To make this season brighter.
We’ve done our best to turn this store,
With all its stock and stuff galore.
Into a place where more and more,
The people's hearts grow lighter.
Owing to the great rush at our first grand open-ing
to-day, it was impossible for those visiting to
inspect and purchase with due comfort. We there
fore consent to another opening for to day, when
we will add more assistance, so all will be waited

Washington, Dec. 11.—The re-vised
tariff bill was laid before the
ways and means committee this
morning, the changes most import-ant
being on pearl buttons and tin
plate. The majority of the
changes were mostly from ad va-lorem
to specific duties, where such
changes were necessary from a bus-iness
standpoint. * The bill this
morning was taken up by the full
committee by sections and the Re-publican
members offered amend-menis
and discussed the bill from
time to time. The intention of the
majority of the members was to
vote down all amendments offered
by the Republicans and re-port
the bill as soon as
possible in its present revised
condition. The committee reached
the sugar schedule before adjourn-ment,
but no vote was taken; nei-ther
was any amendment offered,
but it is likely amendments will be
offered to-morrow morning, but no
changes will be made. The major-ity
of the members say the bill as it
now stands will be reported to the
house. It is expected the commit-tee
will be able to get through
considerable of the bill to-morrow
and it will be reported to the house
Wednesday or Thursday. During
the discussion of the bill Reed
offerred a resolution that as it was
shown under the proposed bill the
revenue will be $72,000,000 short,
it was desirable that the committee
will be informed in what way the
deficiency can te met.
Wilson replied that the defi-ciency
will be met by internal rev-enue
taxation, but these schedules
were not complete.
The resolution was laid on the
table by a party vote.
The changes made in the tariff
bill since given to the public are
as follows: Tin plate from ^0 per
cent, ad valorem to 1 1-5 cent
per pound, with a provision of the
reduction not going into effect un-til
October 1, 1894 ; pearl buttons

Senator Hoar's Document on Hawaiian
Matters- Bitter Against the President.
Gray Defends Cleveland.
(Continued on Page 4.)
Washington, Dec. 11.—In the
senate to day the unexpected hap-pened
and the expected failed to
materialize. The expected debate
on the Federal elections law re-peal
was averted by Hill acquies-cing
in the suggestion of Hear
that the bill be reterred to the com-rnittee
on privileges and elections.
On the other hand no one ex-pected
a debate on the Hawaiian
question until the resolution call-ing.
for information agreed to by
the senate last week was complied
with by the executive. To-day,
however, Hoar submitted another
resolution calling upon the Preei-dent
for specific answers to ques-tions
which, if literally complied
with, would lay before the senate
and country the history of the ac-tions
of the present administration
on Hawaiian matters.
After a lively debate between the
author of the resolution and Gray
of Delaware the resolution went
over until to-morrow.
The house joint resolution for
the protection of parties hereto-fore
allowed to make entries for
lands within the former Mill Lake
reservation passed.
Hoar of Massachusetts offered
the following resolution, attacking
by implication the present Hawaiian
policy:
“That the President be requested
to inform the senate, if, in his
opinion, it be not inconsistent with
the public interest, whether any
person whose name has not been
submitted to the senate for its ad-vice
and consent, and if so what
person has been appointed since
the 4th day of March, 1893, to repre-sent
the United States in the Ha-waiian
Islands, and whether such
person has been acciedited to the
President of the executive and ad-visory
council of the Hawaiian
Islands, and whether such person
has been presented to the head
of the government of the Hawaiian
Islands, and whether any and if so
what authority has been given such
person touching the relations of
this government to the then exist-ipg
or other government of the
Hawaiian Islands, and the protec-tion
of Americjn citizens therein,
and whether any discriminationary
power has been committed to such
person to determine when the naval
force of the United States
should be • landed therein
or withdrawn therefrom, and
whether any authority had
been committed to such person to
use physical force in the territory
of such government or to land an
armed force there and whether
such a person had been authorized
or has in fact corresponded in re-gard
to public affairs of the gov-ernment
of the Hawaiian Islands
with any private person, newspa-per
or periodical, or been author-ized
to or has in fact undertaken
to receive in said Hawaiian Islands
the testimony of any private per-son
or has requested or received
written communications from any
private person in regard to
the lawful and existi. ggovernment
therefor, the circumstances under
which said existing government
was established, or any other mat-ters
relating to the public affairs
thereof, and if any such appoint-ment
to authority has been made
or given; further to inform the
senate whether the same was made
or given at a time when the senate
was in session or has continued in
force during any session of the
senate or of congress and any part
thereof, and, further, whether such
appointment or authority was
communicated to the senate during
any session thereof and further
whether any person has accepted
or undertaken to accept the office
of commissioner or public minister
with powers aforesaid or any of
them or has undertaken in any cor-respondence
with the government
of Hawaiia or with any private per-son
to describe himself as commis-sioner
of the United States.”
Hoar commented upon the fact
that the information communicated
by the President to certain senators
under seal of confidence had been
freely given out to representatives
of four newspapers known to be
zealous, thoroughgoing—he had
almost said unscrupulous support-ers
of the administration. If that
allegation be true, said Hoar, it
seemed to him as- gross a violation
of the constitution as ever was
charged upon or imputed to any
public official. It was not neces-eary
to say to the senate as to the
administration that the attempt to
usurp the power of appointinjj^or
commissioning such officer without
the consent of the senate was an
attempt to usurp a'l the diplomatic
relations of tne government.
Hoar read an Associated Press
cablegram from London, in which
Minister Bayard expressed his
opinion on the Hawaiian question.
He said if that dispatch was true it
was also true that Great Britain
had been taken into the confidence
of the administration, which the
senate and American people had
not shared. If it were true that the
present senate, being in session,
had authorized an officer to exercise
paramount diplomatic authority in
another country with which the
United St tes was at peace, and
directed the consul and resident
minister to promote his success by
every means in his power and
placed its archives under his com-plete
and untrammeled control;
had authorized him to employ at
his discretion naval power
and to land or withdraw
the forces of the United
States at will, and had given
him a title which w.as enumerated
as one of the titles of diplomatic
officers in the act of congress, the
President was standing (in Hoar’s
judgment) upon very slippery
ground, and had better step on
terra firma rapidly and at once.
If, in the next place, such official
had entered the territory and es-tablished
correspondence with pri-vate
persons about its public af-fairs,
taking testimony, written
communications, receiving written
communications and making re-plies
thereto, that officer violated
in a most gross and palable
manner the express written law
of the American people and
if he reported that action to the
President and it was approved and
the President made himself an ac-complice
after the act, in that
violation of the law, he (the Presi-dent)
was standing upon not only
slippery but very thin ground,
especially if after that act of this
public commissioner he proceeded
to designate him with a new diplo-matic
appointment.
“The ostrich,” said Hoar, “puts
its head in sand and thinks it will
not be seen. The rhinosceros hides
in a mud puddle and breathes
through its nose and thinks it will
not be seen, but neither of these
are fit and suitable precedents for
the executive of the United States.
The people have a right to know,
wish to know and will know, let
me say to my honorable friend, the
truth in this matter.”
Gray (Democrat) of Delaware
said he did not intend to be drawn
into a discussion of the Hawaiian
matter even if the senator from
Massachusetts could not restrain

Washington, Dec. 11.—The re-vised
tariff bill was laid before the
ways and means committee this
morning, the changes most import-ant
being on pearl buttons and tin
plate. The majority of the
changes were mostly from ad va-lorem
to specific duties, where such
changes were necessary from a bus-iness
standpoint. * The bill this
morning was taken up by the full
committee by sections and the Re-publican
members offered amend-menis
and discussed the bill from
time to time. The intention of the
majority of the members was to
vote down all amendments offered
by the Republicans and re-port
the bill as soon as
possible in its present revised
condition. The committee reached
the sugar schedule before adjourn-ment,
but no vote was taken; nei-ther
was any amendment offered,
but it is likely amendments will be
offered to-morrow morning, but no
changes will be made. The major-ity
of the members say the bill as it
now stands will be reported to the
house. It is expected the commit-tee
will be able to get through
considerable of the bill to-morrow
and it will be reported to the house
Wednesday or Thursday. During
the discussion of the bill Reed
offerred a resolution that as it was
shown under the proposed bill the
revenue will be $72,000,000 short,
it was desirable that the committee
will be informed in what way the
deficiency can te met.
Wilson replied that the defi-ciency
will be met by internal rev-enue
taxation, but these schedules
were not complete.
The resolution was laid on the
table by a party vote.
The changes made in the tariff
bill since given to the public are
as follows: Tin plate from ^0 per
cent, ad valorem to 1 1-5 cent
per pound, with a provision of the

on privileges and elections.
On the other hand no one ex-pected
a debate on the Hawaiian
question until the resolution call-ing.
for information agreed to by
the senate last week was complied
with by the executive. To-day,
however, Hoar submitted another
resolution calling upon the Preei-dent
for specific answers to ques-tions
which, if literally complied
with, would lay before the senate
and country the history of the ac-tions
of the present administration
on Hawaiian matters.
After a lively debate between the
author of the resolution and Gray
of Delaware the resolution went
over until to-morrow.
The house joint resolution for
the protection of parties hereto-fore
allowed to make entries for
lands within the former Mill Lake
reservation passed.
Hoar of Massachusetts offered
the following resolution, attacking
by implication the present Hawaiian
policy:
“That the President be requested
to inform the senate, if, in his
opinion, it be not inconsistent with
the public interest, whether any
person whose name has not been
submitted to the senate for its ad-vice
and consent, and if so what
person has been appointed since
the 4th day of March, 1893, to repre-sent
the United States in the Ha-waiian
Islands, and whether such
person has been acciedited to the
President of the executive and ad-visory
council of the Hawaiian
Islands, and whether such person
has been presented to the head
of the government of the Hawaiian
Islands, and whether any and if so
what authority has been given such
person touching the relations of
this government to the then exist-ipg
or other government of the
Hawaiian Islands, and the protec-tion
of Americjn citizens therein,
and whether any discriminationary
power has been committed to such
person to determine when the naval
force of the United States
should be • landed therein
or withdrawn therefrom, and
whether any authority had
been committed to such person to
use physical force in the territory
of such government or to land an
armed force there and whether
such a person had been authorized
or has in fact corresponded in re-gard
to public affairs of the gov-ernment
of the Hawaiian Islands
with any private person, newspa-per
or periodical, or been author-ized
to or has in fact undertaken
to receive in said Hawaiian Islands
the testimony of any private per-son
or has requested or received
written communications from any
private person in regard to
the lawful and existi. ggovernment
therefor, the circumstances under
which said existing government
was established, or any other mat-ters
relating to the public affairs
thereof, and if any such appoint-ment
to authority has been made
or given; further to inform the
senate whether the same was made
or given at a time when the senate
was in session or has continued in
force during any session of the
senate or of congress and any part
thereof, and, further, whether such
appointment or authority was
communicated to the senate during
any session thereof and further
whether any person has accepted
or undertaken to accept the office
of commissioner or public minister
with powers aforesaid or any of
them or has undertaken in any cor-respondence
with the government
of Hawaiia or with any private per-son
to describe himself as commis-sioner
of the United States.”
Hoar commented upon the fact
that the information communicated
by the President to certain senators
under seal of confidence had been
freely given out to representatives
of four newspapers known to be
zealous, thoroughgoing—he had
almost said unscrupulous support-ers
of the administration. If that
allegation be true, said Hoar, it
seemed to him as- gross a violation
of the constitution as ever was
charged upon or imputed to any
public official. It was not neces-eary
to say to the senate as to the
administration that the attempt to
usurp the power of appointinjj^or
commissioning such officer without
the consent of the senate was an
attempt to usurp a'l the diplomatic
relations of tne government.
Hoar read an Associated Press
cablegram from London, in which
Minister Bayard expressed his
opinion on the Hawaiian question.
He said if that dispatch was true it
was also true that Great Britain
had been taken into the confidence
of the administration, which the
senate and American people had
not shared. If it were true that the
present senate, being in session,
had authorized an officer to exercise
paramount diplomatic authority in
another country with which the
United St tes was at peace, and
directed the consul and resident
minister to promote his success by
every means in his power and
placed its archives under his com-plete
and untrammeled control;
had authorized him to employ at
his discretion naval power
and to land or withdraw
the forces of the United
States at will, and had given
him a title which w.as enumerated
as one of the titles of diplomatic
officers in the act of congress, the
President was standing (in Hoar’s
judgment) upon very slippery
ground, and had better step on
terra firma rapidly and at once.
If, in the next place, such official
had entered the territory and es-tablished
correspondence with pri-vate
persons about its public af-fairs,
taking testimony, written
communications, receiving written
communications and making re-plies
thereto, that officer violated
in a most gross and palable
manner the express written law
of the American people and
if he reported that action to the
President and it was approved and
the President made himself an ac-complice
after the act, in that
violation of the law, he (the Presi-dent)
was standing upon not only
slippery but very thin ground,
especially if after that act of this
public commissioner he proceeded
to designate him with a new diplo-matic
appointment.
“The ostrich,” said Hoar, “puts
its head in sand and thinks it will
not be seen. The rhinosceros hides
in a mud puddle and breathes
through its nose and thinks it will
not be seen, but neither of these
are fit and suitable precedents for
the executive of the United States.
The people have a right to know,
wish to know and will know, let
me say to my honorable friend, the
truth in this matter.”
Gray (Democrat) of Delaware
said he did not intend to be drawn
into a discussion of the Hawaiian
matter even if the senator from
Massachusetts could not restrain
